120ML
A 100% natural and biodegradable antiseptic spray — for those time-sensitive moments where stopping pathogens dead in their tracks is essential.
£ 9.95 GBP

The Animal Alchemist presents Pathodex™: a high-strength, veterinary-grade antiseptic spray designed to support dogs in the messy moments that call for fast, effective action.

Pathodex™
is a 100% natural, biodegradable formula containing 300ppm Hypochlorous Acid — a molecule produced naturally by white blood cells as part of the immune response. Cold-bottled to preserve stability and filled in non-reactive plastic springed atomisers, Pathodex™ offers rapid microbial control without stinging, fragrance, or toxicity.

This pH-balanced, canine skin spray is ideal for use on minor cuts, abrasions, hotspots, or irritation-prone skin. Whether your dog is prone to licking, rolling in dirt, or returning from their latest muddy mission, Pathodex™ helps flush and disinfect vulnerable areas with speed and safety.

Part of our Gold Medx Wound Kit™ system, it serves as the first step in our two-part approach to skin recovery — disinfecting the area before sealing it with Dracorium Wound Latex™. Trusted by veterinarians, formulated by The Alchemist.

🜊 TRUSTED BY GUARDIANS. BACKED BY SCIENCE

Supported by lab-verified results. Not a medicine — just Nature, properly handled.

Pathodex™ Detail

Nature-Derived, Biodegradable, and Safe


Hypochlorous Acid is not only effective — it’s also endogenous to mammalian biology, meaning it’s naturally produced by white blood cells as part of the immune response. Pathodex™ leverages this molecule in a stable, safe-to-use format that is fully biodegradable, non-toxic, alcohol-free, and pH-balanced for canine skin.

Cold-Processed for Bioactivity

At The Animal Alchemist, we believe that how a product is handled is just as important as what goes into it. Pathodex™ is filled cold and stored in chilled conditions to preserve the delicate nature of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) — a molecule known for its rapid oxidative action but high sensitivity to heat, light, and time. By maintaining low temperatures throughout the production and storage process, we preserve the spray’s stability and performance at 200ppm without relying on synthetic stabilisers or preservatives.

Pharmaceutical Purity — Without the Compromise

Many commercial HOCl sprays lose potency before they even reach the bottle — degraded by heat during bottling, stored in unstable conditions, or dispensed through chemically reactive components.

Pathodex™ is different. We use non-reactive, all-plastic atomisers specifically selected for Hypochlorous Acid compatibility. These components ensure the formula remains chemically stable and uncontaminated with every spray — without risk of metal leaching, chlorine off-gassing, or oxidative breakdown.

This precision in packaging protects both the integrity of the product and the purity of what touches your dog’s skin, every single time.

Veterinary-Grade Compliance


Pathodex™ is subjected to 15 EN-standard efficacy testing, including EN 1276, EN 14476, EN 13727 and EN 1656 — proving its ability to neutralise bacteria and enveloped viruses rapidly and reliably. The product is authorised under GB BPR to ensure legal and regulatory compliance in the UK and EU veterinary hygiene sector. This product is not classified as a veterinary medicine, but rather a biocidal hygiene product designed to be used as part of a natural wound care or cleansing routine.


Made for Guardians Who Act Fast


Whether it’s a scratch from the underbrush, a hotspot just beginning to flare, or a minor cut that needs immediate attention, Pathodex™ is formulated for moments that require quick intervention — without hesitation, stinging, or delay. Designed as the first step in our Gold Medx Wound Kit™ system, it clears the way for Dracorium Wound Latex™ to form a botanical skin seal and soother over freshly cleansed areas.

How To Use

Please watch our how-to-use video above for a detailed demonstration of the application techniques.


1. Spray twice directly onto the affected area from a short distance (approx. 3-4 cm), ensuring full coverage. Avoid contact with eyes and prevent you dog from licking as this may interrupt the disinfection process.

2. Allow the area to air dry completely before applying anything else to the area — do not wipe off. For best results, apply Dracorium Wound Latex™ afterward to seal , protect and kick-start the skin's natural recovery process.

Ingredient List

Hypochlorous Acid 0.02% (200ppm), Electrolysed Water, Salt.

Key components

At the heart of Pathodex™ is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) — a molecule naturally produced by white blood cells during immune response. At 200ppm, it delivers high-strength antimicrobial action without harming healthy tissue, offering a safe, rapid solution for canine skin hygiene.
Cold-bottled under low-light, low-oxygen conditions, Pathodex™ is produced without alcohols, fragrances, preservatives, or unnecessary additives. Every manufacturing step is meticulously thought out to preserve the integrity of the formula and protect your dog’s skin from irritants.
HOCl is notoriously delicate — easily degraded by heat, oxygen, light, and reactive metals often found in sprayer mechanisms. We preserve its potency and purity through cold-chain storage, oxygen/UV-blocking containers and chemically inert, all-plastic atomisers to ensure lasting efficacy and safety from first spray to last.
Canine skin has a naturally higher pH than human skin — typically ranging between 6.2 and 7.4. Pathodex™ is carefully formulated to remain within this optimal range, ensuring it won’t disrupt the skin’s delicate acid mantle or microbiome. Approved for use in veterinary hygiene, it offers effective cleansing that respects your dog’s skin barrier — even with repeated application.
Nature recognises its own. HOCl breaks down into essential bodily compounds, chloride ions and trace amounts of salt after use, leaving no chemical footprint on your dog or the environment. It’s powerful enough to disinfect, yet gentle enough to disappear.
Every spray is dosed with precision to deliver effective coverage without waste. Our formulation is backed by internationally recognised lab standards and tested across 15+ EN and ASTM protocols — because clean should never mean careless.
